Lake
This 20-acre lake was created in the Middle Ages as an iron ore quarry. From its banks, you will have a fabulous view of the chateau, which overlooks the lake, and the magnificent, natural surroundings.
There are 6 swims, including one double, all of which have been equipped to ensure your optimal angling experience and comfort (WIFI). The only thing which can possibly interrupt your peace and quiet is your own alarm !
The lake is fed by the river L’Avre, guaranteeing a constant flow of fresh water. Therefore, oxygen for the carp is continuous and they are active all year.
You will find high-quality facilities along the lake-side. there are 3 separate showers, 3 WCs, 2 large sinks, a kitchen, refrigerator, freezer and electricity points. You may unload your car at your swim before parking it in the car park.
The complexity of the lake makes it impossible to net and drain. So, until they are caught, we can't know what fish the lake holds since its conception in the mediaeval period. An exciting prospect for any angler! There had been no fishing until 2011! The first fishing tests were very satisfactory with beautiful common carp up to 40 lbs. However, what we can be sure of is what carp have been added since then.
The first part of a major stocking programme took place in 2013 : A total weight of 4,500 lb was stocked comprising carp between 30 and 50 lb and 10 sturgeon between 20 and 30 lb. Following on was another stock of 7 carp between 45 and 55 lb.
New in 2017 !! 3 carp between 50 – 58 lbs, 10 carp between 25 – 35 lbs, and the big one, a common of 67 lbs !!
